The relationship between returning to work self-efficacy, anxiety, and depression in renal cancer patients: a cross-lagged analysis.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesThis longitudinal study aimed to examine the relationship between return-to-work self-efficacy (RTW-SE), anxiety, and depression in patients with renal cancer.
methodsA total of 282 patients with renal cancer from Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center were recruited between April and December 2022. Patients were assessed at one month (T1), three months (T2), and six months (T3) after surgery using a general information questionnaire, Return-to-Work Self-Efficacy Scale, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD- 7), and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ- 9).
resultsRTW-SE progressively increased over time, while anxiety and depression scores showed a decreasing trend. Pearson's correlation analysis revealed a significant negative association between RTW-SE and both anxiety and depression at all three-time points. Cross-lagged analysis demonstrated that RTW-SE at T1 significantly predicted depression at T2 (β = - 0.066, P < 0.001), whereas RTW-SE at T2 significantly predicted both anxiety (β = - 0.177, P < 0.001) and depression (β = - 0.077, P < 0.001) at T3.
conclusionHigher RTW-SE scores were associated with lower levels of post-surgery anxiety and depression. These findings highlight the importance of systematic RTW-SE assessments and early interventions to enhance work reintegration and psychological well-being. Incorporating RTW-SE monitoring into postoperative care plans may help to identify high-risk patients and facilitate timely psychological and vocational support.
